What Types of Slushie Machine Hire Are Available?

There are two main types of slushie machine hire in Australia. The right option depends on how long you need the machine and what you are using it for.

Weekend Party Hire

Weekend party hire is designed for one-off events like birthdays, school fetes, Christmas parties, and backyard gatherings.

You pick up the machine on Thursday or Friday, use it over the weekend, and return it on Monday. The machine arrives clean and ready to use. You just add your slush syrup and go.

Long-Term Commercial Hire

Long-term commercial hire is the smart option for cafes, restaurants, service stations, convenience stores, cinemas, and any business that wants to add a slush machine without the upfront purchase cost.

You choose the hire term, we deliver the machine to your venue, and you pay a fixed monthly rate. All machines are commercial grade ICETRO units.

3-month hire $400 per month + GST and freight
6-month hire $330 per month + GST and freight
12-month hire $217 per month + GST and freight
Delivery Australia wide by courier

Not sure whether to hire or buy? If you need the machine for less than 3 months, hire is the better option. If you need it long-term and want to own it outright, buying often works out cheaper. We can help you compare both options. Call us on 0447 587 446.

Which Slushie Machines Are Available to Hire?

We hire out our full range of commercial ICETRO slush machines. Here is a breakdown of what is available.

Single Bowl Slushie Machine (ICETRO SSM180)

Capacity: 12 litres. One flavour at a time. Best for smaller parties, low-volume venues, or anyone wanting to keep things simple. Easy to operate and clean.

Twin Bowl Slushie Machine (ICETRO SSM280)

Capacity: 2 x 12 litres. Two independent flavour bowls. Our most popular hire machine. Great for parties where you want to offer two choices, or for venues that want to keep both a kids flavour and an adult option running at the same time.

Triple Bowl Slushie Machine (ICETRO SSM420)

Capacity: 3 x 12 litres. Three bowls, three flavours, maximum variety. Ideal for large events, weddings, corporate functions, and high-volume commercial venues. This is the machine that turns heads.

Not sure which machine to hire? The twin bowl is the right choice for most party hire situations. If you are serving more than 100 guests, consider the triple bowl. Give us a call and we will match you with the right machine for your event size.

How to Hire a Slushie Machine from Australian Slush Machines

The process is straightforward. Here is how it works step by step.

  1. Call us on 0447 587 446 or submit an enquiry through our website. Tell us your event date, location, and how many guests you are expecting.
  2. We will confirm availability and recommend the right machine for your event.
  3. You confirm the booking and we hold your date.
  4. Pick up the machine from our Mount Eliza location on Thursday or Friday. The machine will be clean and ready to go.
  5. Set up at home takes less than 10 minutes. We provide full instructions.
  6. Enjoy your event. The machine handles itself once running.
  7. Return the machine on Monday. Give it a basic clean before return.

What Slush Syrup Do I Need?

The machine is just the hardware. The flavour comes from the slush syrup.

We stock over 75 slush syrup and mix flavours. All are pre-diluted and designed specifically for commercial slush machines. Simply pour in, switch on, and wait 30 to 45 minutes for the slush to form.

Syrups are available in boxes from $110 plus GST and freight. You can order online through HunterMe.com.au or pick up when you collect the machine.

  • Classic flavours: Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, Strawberry, Cola, Grape, Mango, Tropical Punch
  • Kids favourites: Lemon Lime, Bubblegum, Mixed Berry, Apple
  • Adult cocktail bases: Margarita, Daiquiri, Pina Colada, Mojito
  • 99% juice mixes: Orange, Pineapple, Cranberry and more
  • Latte syrups: Caramel, Vanilla, Hazelnut
Not sure how much syrup you need? As a rough guide, one 5L box of concentrated syrup makes approximately 12 litres of slush. For a party of 50 people, two flavours and two boxes per flavour should be enough.
